I know I have successfully done this before, but can't seem to make it happen now. I was printing a large queue of small images, many of which had subtle distinctions, so I wanted to be able to identify which ones I wanted to reprint larger. In Edit> Preferences I have EXIF hotbar on (and date is formatted), but that has not accomplished anything. I couldn't find a setting to turn it on under Edit> Preferences> Printing options, or Page formatting, though I did see where one can edit the Print annotation font (which I did). I must be missing something obvious (again!), but where is it?

Thanks.

Liz,
Not exactly sure what you want, but, There's a bunch of EXIF that will print onto the image using INFO STAMP in the editor.
Better than that, if you want it on the print, it's all there in Floating text  Even better to be able to print a bunch of small samples WITH INFO, Go to Custom and click Contact Sheet. You set the rows and columns to suit the size and how many to a page.
If you click Layout you have premade templates that do the same job.

You also have the old green bar rating system where you assign atag to denote which are keepers and how strong.

Hi Fred,

What I had originally done was to create a contact sheet via Recall>Layout>Contact-sheet-25up.tpl. Printing the contact sheet that way did not add the individual file info to my printouts.

Thanks to your tip to look under Edit Page, I found that if I edited each page and ticked "Image info" (probably that's what you referred to as INFO STAMP?), the info I wanted appeared exactly in the way I wanted it to. So I won't reprint everything, but saving this annotated version as an overwrite of the prior job, I can now at least compare my printed contact sheet with the one that appears in Qimage when I recall the job. And I will know what to do next time! Did this "Image info" option move? I thought I could previously enable this via the printing options? In any case, I don't remember having to do this page by page before.

Thanks Fred!

Liz
